ORIGINAL: There is a huge problem in Vancouver with heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is that there is a large crime rate due to the addicts. It is obvious that addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain because of the fact that they are using. By heroin users being addicted, they will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug. The types of crimes committed are those of breaking and entering as well as stealing. There are no limits to where they will go to retrieve this drug so that they can feed their addiction. The problem with this program is that it won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin. It is only trying to save the city from rising crime rates that they’re up to. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. It is pointless that the hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible. This will in turn fix the city but not the addiction that these people face.

REVISED: In Vancouver, the “free heroin for addicts” program is trying to stop the people who are heroin addicts from committing crimes that support their habit. There is a large crime rate for addicts who use a drug called heroin. Not providing drugs to addicts will help keep them off the streets by denying drugs to addicts forever, as society might be able to eliminate addiction forever. Which will prevent them from committing crimes on the street and get them the help they need at hospitals. This program helps get people off heroin in the cleanest way possible, but not the addiction as you can only end it.
